Good vids j...

Still disagree with the flatland thing but thats my opinion!!!!

I would say though that there are some flatland moves used in Street but i wont agree that street came from Flatland..As i said earlier, i rode street in its early years and like DMC and Wilkerson i used to go out on the weekends (Fri, Sat nights) and ride till it got light, making up new tricks and finding different stuff to ride on or off! Now, Tricks i used to do were, grind absolutely any and everything! Chainring fakies on anything that didnt move and sometimes stuff that did...and as you said wall rides on just about any wall in the town. There are a couple of members on here that will vouch for my nocturnal activities as they on occasion rode with me. I dont remember ever incorporating any kind of flatland tricks in what i used to do. And before anyone says it, 360's were being done as jumps long before they were done on the ground and 180's are the building block of freestyle as a whole so dont go down that road.

So i'll agree to disagree to its origins and tell you what i know because i like some others was there.

Cheers

P.s. Southbank was Rad i'd love to street ther again sometime.

Your wrong and you know it. Your just playing with my feelings to provoke an emotional response :'( Well it just wont work as I like many others can see straight through you for the transparent tired old man that you are. You have been up to late to long so go and get some sleep so that you can start to think before you type.  :LolLolLolLol: Only kidding RH before your head implodes  ;D

On a more seriouse note I think its a more individual thing and some people were more influenced by certain types and styles of riding than others and thats why we all ride different and what makes it such a great sport. I for one love it that we all have our own bag of tricks and this derives from each persons influences from whatever floated their boat when they got into this sport and it will be different for everybody or we would all ride the same.

some of the stuff you see today is a mish mash of styles like mcoy but he puts it together in his own unique way and its awesome but he has bits of allsorts going on as do we all on a smaller scale.
